Chapter 1241: You Want to Go Back with Me Like This?
"Me?" Scarlett Yates let out a bitter laugh. "I’m Noah Yates’ daughter; he wouldn’t do anything to me. But it’s different for you. Anyway, I won’t be in any danger; you don’t need to worry about me."
"Young Madam, how could you be..." George was quite shocked, as he hadn’t been aware of this matter.
"I’ll talk to you about this later."
After exchanging a few words with George, Uncle Marshall probably noticed her mood was off, so he didn’t rush her anymore.
"Alright, Uncle Marshall, let’s go."

Returning to the Yates Family home, Scarlett Yates stepped into the living room and saw Noah Yates sitting on the sofa.
"It’s getting late; quickly pack up, and we’ll leave in half an hour." Noah Yates glanced up at her, holding a half-smoked cigarette, its ember flickering at his fingertips, with two burnt-out ones already in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Scarlett Yates was momentarily stunned, her eyes reflecting surprise for a few seconds before quickly regaining composure.
Noah Yates didn’t use to smoke before.
In the area they lived, Noah Yates was known as the exemplary "Three Nos" type of a good man.
He didn’t smoke, drink, or gamble.
Everyone envied Autumn Spencer for finding such a homebody of a good man, and naturally, Scarlett was also an object of envy back then—after all, she had a good father.
Indeed, time changes many things.
The Noah Yates now was becoming increasingly different from the Father Yates she remembered.
Apart from still having that handsome and elegant face, she could no longer find any other similarities.
At this moment, Scarlett Yates’ feelings were very delicate and complex...
The man before her was her biological father, the closest person to her in this world, yet she felt that the closest person had become the most unfamiliar one.
And she still had to call this "stranger" Dad.
"Let’s go now, there’s no need to pack." Scarlett had already sorted things out in her mind on the way back; a visit to the Yates Family was inevitable.
With Noah Yates’ current temperament, there was no way he’d let her have her way.
Since it was unavoidable, there was no need to provoke him further. Whether or not she recognizes her roots and returns to her ancestry is another matter; first, she’ll visit the Yates Family to see what the situation really is.
The Yates Family is a prestigious and grand family. If Noah Yates wants to reclaim her as his daughter, it’s probably not an easy task, especially since there’s the Old Master Yates above him.
If this key figure doesn’t agree, Noah Yates can’t possibly disregard his feelings, right?
"You intend to go back with me like this?" Noah Yates glanced her up and down, immediately frowning with a displeased expression. "This time we’re going back to the old house to see some important elders. Even if you don’t have to take it very seriously, you should at least care to some extent. Going back so casually, what does that look like?"
"I think I’m fine like this; there’s nothing wrong." This visit to the old Yates house wasn’t her idea to go, yet why should she have to dress up specially for it?
Few dared to talk back to Noah Yates, but Scarlett Yates contradicted him again and again, ignoring him, even in front of a bunch of employees. Noah Yates could endure it once, twice, but not a third time.
In fact, he had been quite tolerant with Scarlett Yates. If it weren’t for feeling he owed her and her mother, he wouldn’t have shown such patience.
But even if he felt guilty in his heart, it couldn’t be her excuse to disregard him.
